Abstract
Processes for detecting a sensitized leukocyte or an antigen in a liquid sample are described. One of the processes contains the steps of: adding a known antigen to the liquid sample, or the liquid sample to a known sensitized leukocyte; applying an electric potential between a working electrode immersed in a mixture of the known antigen or the known leukocytes and the liquid sample, and a counter electrode, to generate an electric current therein; and measuring an amount of the electric current generated. Further, another process contains the steps of: adding a known antigen to said liquid sample, or the liquid sample to a known sensitized leukocyte; and measuring an amount of serotonin or histamine released thereby. Still further, apparatuses for carrying out the above processes are also described.
